Authentic Grassroots Gravel.
Just West on I-70 from the gravel-famous Flint Hills, you’ll find a hidden gem - perhaps the best-kept secret in Midwest Gravel - the beautiful Smoky Hills.
Why do we love this area? And why is this race awesome? Let us count the ways:
🚲 These roads roll fast and won’t chew up your tires.
🚲 The hills are steep and relentless, but incredible views await at the top of nearly every hill - and some really epic descents.
🚲 Four “Ruler of the Mountain” competitions on the biggest hills on the course.
🚲 The course has almost no “empty miles” - the terrain is diverse and interesting from beginning to end.
🚲 The people. Really… bike people are the best.
🚲 Several wicked-fun aid stations on the course operated by our partners.
🚲 DNF Wagons to pick you up if the course is a bit too much.
🚲 The directors care about creating an epic grassroots experience with all the elements you love about gravel racing.
